Denver Back Pain Relief Done Naturally Through Chiropractic Therapy And Massage

By Jamie Cudjoe


Some people still have misconceptions about chiropractors and the care they provide. For one thing, the educational process they go through is as extensive as what a physician completes. The human body, especially the skeletal and nervous systems, are simply the parts they focus on. For example, if you have persistent back pain, a Denver Chiropractor is trained and licensed to provide successful care with the exception of surgery.

Those who turn to chiropractic care are doing so to avoid surgery. They are also avoiding prescription or over the counter pain medication. The extensive evaluation done for each client will rule out any condition that can only be corrected through surgery.

Your spine is palpated and visually examined for abnormalities. Your posture, sitting and standing, is evaluated. An x-ray is done. When the assessment is over, the chiropractor can recommend the optimal care plan.

That care most often is a series of manual adjustments. These serve to returned misaligned vertebrae to their correct position on the spine. When they are jarred out of position, they can press against the nerve roots. The pain that results can be moderate to unbearable. When left uncorrected, it can develop into a serious condition called a herniated disc.

If that happens, a portion of an intervertebral disc bulges out between two of the vertebrae. These spongy discs lie between the vertebrae that make up the backbone. They serve to separate them and keep them from rubbing against each other when the individual moves.

The spinal adjustments are administered in the office during a series of visits. Each moves the vertebrae a little closer to the correct position. You may not feel pain alleviation immediately. But, over time, your condition will improve. Massage is often used concomitantly to relax tension in the muscles because they may contribute to the pain.

Each office visit will bring you closer to the goal of resuming the normal activities you enjoyed prior to the onset of pain. Soon you will visualize a return to school or your job. The pain will be reduced to a tolerable level or eliminated.
